About the service
The employer does not pay the salary or delays the payment upon dismissal? This is a violation of Articles 115-117 of the Labor Code. In addition to the debt itself, you are entitled to a penalty - the average earnings for the entire period of delay in payment.
We collect wages through the court: we check documents, prepare a lawsuit, represent in court and accompany enforcement proceedings. In case of risk of liquidation of the employer - we declare the seizure of assets even before the court decision.
What do you get?
In addition to the amount of the salary debt itself, the court charges the employer a penalty for each day of delay in payment (Article 117 of the Labor Code - average earnings during the delay). In case of prolonged non-payment, this may double the final amount.
- Unpaid salary for the entire period
- Average earnings during the delay in payment (Article 117 of the Labor Code)
- Unpaid vacation, sick leave, severance pay
- Moral damage (amount depends on the circumstances)
- Reimbursement of legal costs from the employer
How it works
We analyze your documents (employment contract, settlement documents, correspondence with the employer). If there is a prospect - we immediately form an evidence base, prepare a lawsuit and file it with the district or city court at the place of work. We represent your interests at meetings and communicate with the employer. After the decision, we accompany the enforcement proceedings - until the money is actually credited to your account.
If the employer is liquidated or transfers assets to other persons, we file a motion to secure the claim (seizure of property) even before the court decision. This dramatically increases the chances of actually receiving money, not just winning on paper.
When is it the right choice?
Contact us if the employer has not paid the salary upon dismissal, has delayed current payments for more than a month, has not paid vacation pay or severance pay, has not accrued sick leave. It also works when the employer is an individual entrepreneur without official registration: the employment relationship can be proven through witnesses and correspondence.
Do not contact us if the debt is less than 3-4 thousand hryvnias - the court fee and time will not justify the result. In this case, sign up for a consultation: we will tell you how to collect through the labor inspection without going to court.

Frequently asked questions
01 How much time do I have to file a claim?
3 years for claims for the recovery of wages is the longest term in labor law (Article 233 of the Labor Code). The usual monthly term does not apply here.
02 What if there was no official registration?
We prove the employment relationship through witnesses, correspondence, and the fact of being admitted to work. The absence of a contract does not deprive the right to payment.
03 How much more is charged besides the debt itself?
Penalty under Article 117 of the Labor Code is the average earnings for each day of delay in payment. In case of long non-payment, this can double the final amount.
04 What to do if the employer goes bankrupt?
We urgently file a motion to secure the claim - seizure of property, bank accounts. Otherwise, it will be difficult to actually get the money.
05 How quickly will I receive the money after the decision?
It depends on the employer's behavior. If there is property and accounts - the enforcement service collects in weeks. If he hides assets - we accompany the forced collection until the result.
06 Is it possible to collect without a trial through the labor inspection?
Yes, for small debts and current non-payment, the labor inspectorate may be a faster way. At the first consultation, we will suggest what will be more effective for your case.
07 Why is the price "from 35,000 ₴" and not fixed?
The complexity of cases varies greatly: from simple collection of a fixed debt to disputes with an individual entrepreneur without a contract and questioning of witnesses. The final price is fixed in the contract after analysis.
08 Are appeal and cassation included in the price?
No. Appeal and cassation are separate contracts. We form the price for them after the decision of the court of first instance, when the specific scope of work is visible.
